From: Li Jinlin <lijinlin3@huawei.com> mainline inclusion from mainline-5.14 commit 884f0e84f1e3195b801319c8ec3d5774e9bf2710 category: bugfix bugzilla: NA CVE: NA The pending timer has been set up in blk_throtl_init(). However, the timer is not deleted in blk_throtl_exit(). This means that the timer handler may still be running after freeing the timer, which would result in a use-after-free. Fix by calling del_timer_sync() to delete the timer in blk_throtl_exit().
